[There is no excuse. Except for the fact that I really couldn't get any inspiration for this. It's all thanks to Numbersixteen (and her not-so-thinly veiled death threats) that this part is up right now. Give her all your thanks and read her stories. They are really good :)

Please enjoy, this crappy excuse of a chapter ^-^]

'We're the Hitachiin twins!" Hitomi Suzuki. Could she have been the one they had met that day? Kaoru was aware that Hikaru and the guests were watching him, wondering what was wrong. He was aware that he had frozen on the spot. He was also aware that Hitomi was wearing the same shocked expression he was.

"Kaoru? Kaoru, are you alright?"

"Kaoru?"

"Are you alright Miss Suzuki?" Kaoru watched as Hitomi reluctantly turned away from the twins and faced towards Kyouya.

"Yes, I'm fine." She mumbled before turning her head back to her book. She rested her fingers on the page, but didn't move them. Kaoru turned to look at his brother before whispering in his ear.

"I think we've met Hitomi Suzuki before." Kaoru pulled back to see his brother's reaction. The girls they were meant to be entertaining watched, curious. Hikaru's eyes narrowed in confusion, but he shook his head and carried on with their act. His meaning was clear. 'We'll speak about it after.' The girls soon forgot about Kaoru's moment.

I pulled up the sleeve of my dress and ran my hand down the inside of my left arm, feeling the slight bump. It was physical proof of a day that I wanted to forget. The psychological proof being the nightmares. And the memories. That sudden click that had happened 2 hours ago had made me feel sick. I had left the lesson half way through to go to the nurse's office.

I had never got there though. Mainly because the teacher hadn't thought to appoint a guide to show me the way. I slid down the wall of the corridor as a rush of more memories from that day ran through my mind.

'Let go of me! MUMMY! SOMEONE, HELP ME!' He pulled me again. The bad man was hurting me.

"Leave me alone." I whispered to my thoughts.

'No-one's gonna hear you here, darlin'. That's the beauty of little alleyways.' I tried pulling away from him again, but his grip was too strong. I cried. I hadn't wanted mummy to let go of me. It had scared me, all the voices. Without someone's hand to hold, I was lost.

"I said leave me alone." I growled, my voice a little stronger now. I held my knees and started shaking.

I don't know how long I was sat there for, until someone found me, shaking and broken.

Hikaru was staring at Kaoru, demanding an answer.

"What do you mean you think we've met Hitomi before?" He asked. Kaoru looked back at him calmly.

"Exactly what I said. Listen, you remember that time we found that girl in the little back street." Hikaru looked confused. "We were about 8 at the time. We gave her a ride to her house." Kaoru added. Hikaru looked even more confused for a second before his face lit up as he remembered.

"You think that was Hitomi?" Hikaru asked, eyes wide. Kaoru nodded. Hikaru ran a hand through his hair. "Jeez, if that was her, she's changed a lot."

"Not really. She's still got silver eyes and long dark hair." Kaoru replied. Hikaru sighed and looked at his brother, curiously.

"What made you remember that anyway?" He asked. Kaoru looked away and hesitated before shrugging. Hikaru narrowed his eyes. "Kaoru, tell me."

"I heard Sapphy's voice. She told me 'Fate really does work in mysterious ways' and then the memory just popped in my head. It's like Sapphy wanted me to remember." Hikaru sighed and looked at his brother.

"I see."

Takashi Morinozuka walked through the halls of Ouran Academy. Someone had called the University he and Mitsukuni were studying at with a bomb threat. It had probably been a practical joke by some idiot wanting the day off, but the university had had no choice, but to shut down until the threat had been eliminated. Mitsukuni was already in the clubroom, eating sweets probably and Takashi had set off to get more seeing as they were dangerously low on cake.

As he rounded a corner, he heard a faint sobbing. Takashi frowned and abandoned his mission for cake. Instead he turned to follow the sound. What he saw, when he reached his destination, surprised him. It was the girl that had visited the Host Club, but had sat reading. Takashi remembered that the girl was called Hitomi and she was blind. The poor girl couldn't see. She was sat against a wall, rocking back and forth, choking on her sobs. He walked up to her slowly and knelt down in front of her.

"Are you okay?" He asked, placing a hand on her shoulder. At the touch, Hitomi went wild. She stood up and lashed out at him. Takashi stepped out of her reach and she stopped. She crouched and snarled, waiting for something. "Cal-" He began, but at the sound of his voice, she lashed out again. He moved out of her way and stayed quiet. Hitomi reminded Takashi of a cornered animal. She was panicking and so she lashed out. Takashi waited silently. He watched her as her head whipped around, searching for him, listening for anything that might give him away. Mori waited. He was good at being patient and silent. It only took a few minutes for Hitomi to give up. She collapsed and started shuddering slightly. Mori waited for a minute more before walking up to her slowly and picked her up. She felt clammy. He placed a hand on her forehead worriedly before quickly taking her to the nurse's office.

I woke up, not wanting to let go of the welcome oblivion. I clutched at the covers and groaned. Almost immediately, a hand was on my forehead, obviously trying to soothe me, but also checking my temperature. The hand was rough and calloused, too big to be a woman's. I leaned into the coolness of his hand. It felt so good. The person chuckled and the hand was taken away to ruffle my hair.

"Who is it?" I whispered. I had tried to say it, but my throat was raw for some reason. It hurt. A lot. Footsteps walked into the room and I winced. The sharp sound sliced through my head like a knife. A woman spoke up.

"Your friend, Takashi Morinozuka, Suzuki-san. He is a very good friend. He brought you straight here when he found you in collapsed in a hallway." The footsteps walked towards the bed and paused as the woman fiddled with something next to me. She walked away again, humming quietly to herself. I frowned, confused. I had collapsed? What had happened? I sighed and tried to sit up, only to be pushed back down.

"You're not well yet. Keep still." The voice was calm and smooth. It was bass like and soothing. I kept back the retort and forced myself to thank him instead. After all, he was only trying to help. I didn't like to be treated like a fragile doll, even if I was sick.

"Morinozuka-san?" I called, wanting to ask him something.

"Mori." Huh?

"Huh?" I said, echoing my thoughts. He chuckled again.

"Call me Mori." I nodded and spoke.

"Were you there when I collapsed?" I didn't want to say fainted. It sounded so weak. He was silent for a minute or so almost like he was contemplating me.

"Yes."

"Do you know why?" There was another silence. He was probably wondering why I couldn't remember. To be honest, I was to. Inside I was panicking because I couldn't remember.

"No." I nodded again. I frowned and listened to the silence. To others it really would be silent, but to me, it was deafening. I could hear the electrical buzz of the lights, the wind blowing in from an open window, the trees rustling in th breeze and the breathing. The person sat beside me was taking long slow breaths.

Tamaki walked into the clubroom, chatting animatedly to his calculating friend. He stopped when he saw Honey, before running towards the university student and asking him why he was here so early. Kyouya sighed and watched the two blondes with irritation. He sat down and opened his laptop up. As soon as the device had loaded, he was searching for a file. There had been something interesting that he had dismissed the first time he had seen it. He found it and opened it up, immediately looking for the hospital records. He found what he was looking for and he narrowed his eyes.

"What are you looking for Kyouya?" The black haired boy almost jumped at the sound of annoying blonde's voice.

"Hitomi Suzuki went to hospital at the age of 7. She needed 21 stitches on the inside of her left arm." Tamaki shrugged.

"So? That could have been caused by anything. She could have fallen out of a tree at that age." Tamaki said. Kyouya looked at the boy in surprise. Normally, Tamaki would be bouncing around, worried at the girls injury. Even if it was caused years ago. Kyouya shook his head.

"It says here that the doctors at the time were almost certain it was caused by a knife. The way it was cut also suggests it was done intentionally." Tamaki gaped at Kyouya. Honey appeared at Tamaki's elbow. His head was hung sadly and he clutched Usa-chan to his chest.

"Poor Hitomi-chan." He said quietly. Tamaki nodded. Kyouya was silent before he cleared his throat.

"Where's Mori-senpai? Shouldn't he be with you Honey-senpai?" The mood changed quickly.

"He went to get more sweets for me and Usa-chan! He should be back by now though." The door opened and they all looked up to see the trio of second years walking through. Haruhi looked worried and the twins were talking rapidly to each other.

"Haru-chan! Have you seen Takashi?" Haruhi looked towards Honey and nodded.

"He was taking Suzuki-san to the infirmary. She looked pretty bad." There was silence for a moment, before the twins started up their conversation from where it had left off. It was obvious that they were trying to keep their minds off something, but nobody asked what.

They didn't think to ask.

[I had something totally different planned for this as I was writing it down. Everyone except Honey would meet Mori carrying Hitomi down to the nurses' office, but I forgot about it when I got to the actual part. Pooey.

Review replies:

NumberSixteen: Thanks xD It's such a honour that you read my story. I love yours so it's great that you love mine. I don't want to die just yet, so here's the update you so nicely asked for x]

Stuckinadream: I'm sorry that I made you want cake. Yes, I was trying to input a little humour. I'm glad it sorta worked ^-^ I updated, just not very soon... hehehhe ^-^'

Aurora-16: It doesn't matter that your review was late. The ones mentioned above were later than yours, so yeah. :D Thanks for the extra cyber truffles. Sorry about the cliffhanger, just makes it more interesting don't ya think? ;D

Melikecake: I like flashbacks too! Thanks. I can tell cake is your life. You'd do well to pair up with Honey x] Don't worry about the 'EEEEEE!' at the end of all your reviews. Fangirls can be annoying, but not your type of fangirl. Your type of fangirl is moderate and awesome! It took me a while to work out who 'siad' was. I thought you just spelt said wrong, but said didn't fit into the sentence xD But I know now. Here is the next chapter for you.

Mikaelamazing: Ah. Sorry about confusing you. I don't mean to. It doesn't matter about you not having a rant in your wonderful review... FullMetal Alchemist is worth it ;D Read my comedy fanfic of it. It's called Two Worlds. :) I just finished watching Brotherhood a few days ago. It's what I've been writing while waiting for the inspiration for this to come. It's got more chapters as well :/ xD

AbbyinUnderland: I didn't mean for it to be a filler, but think of it this way. It was a filler that kind of helped me along :) Anyway, I have kept writing and I hope you too keep writing. X]

Kaori Summers: You didn't continuously message me :) Tamaki isn't being stupid? Oh dear D: I really hoped I was keeping them all in character! Dx. I'm so sad :( She has met Mori now and the thing with her and the twins isn't very dramatic. I will be adding more things in about the car journey in later chapters though. This chapter fails :(

LittleStrawberryBlondeSpazz: Well, I think Moribox is very mean for his comment to not be posted x] And sorry about leaving you in the dark so long. I really didn't mean to do it, but school and my friend got me addicted to FullMetal Alchemist again, so this story got left on the sidelines while I started writing fanfic for that and playing Bluebird's Illusion and doing other such things. Thanks for liking this so much though :)

Thank you all for reading and please review. The ending to this chapter is a little crap, so please tell me where I can improve. I like CC reviews almost as much as I love Kaoru! :D

I'm not updating until I get a certain amount of reviews! So review people otherwise I may not update ;D
